Intemperance Among Workingmen.

If Mr.. T. j. Morgan, who read very
interesting letter on the subject of intern
perance among the working classes before
the English-speaking section of the Social-
lists on Sunday, would only make an I'M
biased study Of the subject his views would
be of greater weight with the community at
large and his advice would be more valua-
BILE to those to whom it is more especially
addressed. In the two "open letters" he
has read upon the subject he has betrayed
more inclination to blame some one else
workingmen than to place the responsible
ity where it must inevitably rest-upon the
individual. AS the Daily Meas has already
had occasion to say, Mr.. Morgan does not
look the facts squarely in the face, but
seeks to put the cart before the horse--the
effect before the cause. While heredjtH.
social customs, and industrial conditions
unquestionably have their influence upon
the drinking habits Of many workingmen,
they are not accountable for them. Each
man must be held to a personal RESPONSE
bility for his own weakness. 1t is for the
individual to fight against the effect of
heredity, social customs, or industrial con-
ditions that tend to impair his usefulness
Us member of society, just as it is the
duty of society to render him every assist
ance ana encouragement possible.
Mr.. Morgan says that the workingman is
driven to the saloon to find "relief for his
tired hand and brain-relief from the
dusty factory and noisy shop. In the sa-
loon, with cards and beer and friendly
neighbors. his social instincts find degree
Of qualification" And Mr.. Morgan says
that he is driven to it because his home is
not cheerful, 1t ought not to be possible
for IN intelligent man 80 to misstate the
order Of things; the cheerless home
follows it does not preoede, the grati6ca-
cards and beer and friendly neighbors.
With the money worse than wasted in the
saloon the industrious workingman can
adorn his home with little comforts, with
happy faces, and with social enjoyments
and recreations beside which the sttrse-

MARKETING POULTRY.
How to Dress and Ship Fowls for tho Cit.
Markets,


Markets.
Do not scald the poultry, but pick
them dry. Bleed them in the mouth
when killing, and pick quickly. II
scalded, the skin turns blue, tears and
becomes ragged, thus injuring the ap-
pearance. When dry-picked the natur-
al lirmness of the flesh remains, but
when scalded it soon becomes soft and
tlabby, while the heat from scalding
causes rapid decomposition of the CON
tents of the bowels. The dry-picked
poultry bring the highest prices. Clean
illness is important. Cool the carcasses,
carefully sew up all rents or torn places
on the skin, wash clean in cold water,
wipe dry, and pack in clean barrels or
boxes, no packing material being need
ed. In summer ship in refrigerator
cars if possible. Always carefully re-
move the pin feathers.
Where ducks and geese are sent to
markets requiring them drawn, they
may be scalded; then wrap them in a
cloth for two minutes, when the feath-
ers and down will come off clean.
Very early in the season small chicks
larger sizes, but the usual preferred
weight is from one to one and half
pounds, but later on those of two
pounds are preferred. In winter all
stock can be shipped better and more
economically when killed and dressed,
Int ;,, Eng IL,
poultry alive.
Live poultry should always be sent
by express, and should be sent in coops
high enough to allow the birds to stand
up. Never crowd them, but allow
plenty of room, so that they can move
about in the coop for food and water
Place piece of cloth over the top OF
the coop for shade, but leave the sides
as open as possible. Any kind of coops
will answer, but the lighter the better
Always provide food in boxes, at several
points in the coop, also gravel, with
cups to hold water. If the coops are
large, use partitions and divide the
birds, Ship each size together-neyei
mix large and small.
Always get receipts from the rail-
foads, and notify the commission mer-
chant day or two in advance, and al
ways ship so rs to reach the market
not later than Friday. Any commits
sion merchant will send you quotations
on application, butthe prices you will
obtain depends, ms we have stated
upon the condition of the birds on
arrival, and the quality. Common
fowls never sell as we'll as pure breeds
or crosses.
In selling eggs, be careful to use
shipping crates, as "barreled" eggs
always bring a low price, owing to
prejudice. Assert the eggs. Put all
the dark ones together and the white
ones together. Never allow n stale
egg to get in among your eggs, MS the
discovery of stale one casts suspicion
on all, no matter how fresh they may
be. Make all necessary arrangements
before you get ready to ship, so as to
avoid delay, and when the stock then
leaves your hands You will have no
further difficulty, as the merchant will
look out for it at the other end of the
journey. If it will pay you to sell
nearer home than in the large cities,
take advantage of 1t. First estimate
cost of transportation and commissions.
and above all, let cleanliness prevail
